YUP! I just bought an app which was refunded for containing MALWARE on the APPLE APPSTORE! Yup that's right your mind controlled Apple zealots ! I refuse to use the now F'd out term "FanBoys" ... as I was once one, but now have graduated to fan-man! Fan of Apple, but I can be realistic and critical of them also. This is one of those times. So yea, be aware, that no matter what Apple sells you, question it. Contrary to what Apple wants you to think, the APplesStore is NOT safe. It's not 100% malware, spy etc safe. I guess in Apple's defense, nothing much is. Anyhow just be cautious. Have a good Holiday.
Middle Eastern governments and China spying on citizens... I'm shocked. Kudos to Apple for discovering the issue and booting them out of the App Store.
Apparently neither Apple nor Google discovered it. The New York Times was the one who alerted both after US government sources had advised them while following a story, at least according to media reports.
Many mass shootings in US might be avoided if US government spy on citizens.
Our (USA’s) allies in the Middle East are as bad as our enemies.
The Middle East is disease and danger wrapped in darkness and silence.
I agree. The US needs to say out of it altogether. We don’t need their oil so we should stop spending out blood & dollars. I’d add Afghanistan to that list. Over 2 trillion spent and thousands of lives...for what? I’d much rather see those soldiers (that died) home with their families for Christmas.

Avoid mass shootings in US by replacing all guns with muskets - by the time you have primed it to shoot you might have had sufficient pause for reflection.

What proof do you provide for this outlandish claim? Sounds like BS to me.

There are more annual murders with blunt instruments like hammers than their are from popular semi-auto rifles. This data-driven fact was reiterated by Neil deGrasse Tyson on Twitter and he was bullied for it.

Almost all of those "blunt instruments" were used in anger on single individuals.
I haven't heard of any mass casualty events due to "blunt instruments" wielded by a single individual, hence, not actually a great metric to compare against semi-auto rifles, which have claim to a majority of the top ten active shooter events that have occurred in the U.S.
"Semiautomatic rifles, which include assault weapons like the AR-15 and its variants, are relatively easy to operate and capable of firing very quickly. They can be used with large magazines and high-velocity ammunition, and are infamous for causing egregious damage to soft tissue and bone. In recent years mass shooters wielded them in Aurora, Colo., Orlando, Fla., and Newtown, Conn., among other places. Yet there had been no comprehensive assessment of injuries from the different types of firearms used in such situations, notes Adil Haider, a trauma and critical care surgeon who directs the Center for Surgery and Public Health at BWH. He and his colleagues aimed to address that gap in their study, published in JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association. “The biggest take-home message is that in an active shooter incident, an assailant with a semiautomatic rifle may be able to hurt and kill about twice the number of people compared to if they had a non-semiautomatic rifle or a handgun,” he says."
But of course, people are and expendable commodity.

Sounds to me like naive nonsense.
